No one deserves to be scammed, but the risks are worse when scams happen in the midst of a pandemic. These are the work-at-home and Multi-level Marketing Scams to watch for and warn friends and family about!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What is a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) Scam &amp; Work from Home Scam?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Multi-level marketing is also called network marketing or referral marketing. While it is a strategy to sell products and\/or services without using salaried workers, it is considered a legal <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/recognizing-and-avoiding-investment-pyramid-schemes\/\">pyramid scheme<\/a>. MLM <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/johnny-depp-scam-how-one-woman-lost-7000-to-an-imposter-on-discord\/\">scams<\/a> offer you a detailed compensation plan, which may be tempting. You will be told that after you \u201cbuy-in\u201d, you\u2019ll <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/venmo-scams\/\">receive payments<\/a> if you sell products, services, or have others sign up. Some MLM <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/angelas-unconfirmed-scam\/\">scams<\/a> are worse than others, but all require caution. Meanwhile, work-at-home scams convince prospective workers that they can make real money working from home when the opportunity won\u2019t really be lucrative or might be a complete scam.<\/p>\n[aesop_image  img=&#8221;https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/My-Post-5.jpg&#8221; panorama=&#8221;off&#8221; imgwidth=&#8221;100%&#8221; offset=&#8221;100%&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; captionsrc=&#8221;custom&#8221; captionposition=&#8221;left&#8221; revealfx=&#8221;off&#8221; overlay_revealfx=&#8221;off&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Examples of a Work From Home Scam or MLM Scam During COVID-19<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Coronavirus has made some work-at-home and MLM <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/online-romance-turned-crypto-scam-a-cautionary-tale\/\">scams<\/a> more prevalent.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>1. Medical Billing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For medical billing <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/love-loss-and-scams-a-retirees-tragic-experience-with-online-romance-scammers\/\">scams<\/a>, you\u2019ll be offered the ability to work from home or for an agency, as long as you pay for your materials or contacts upfront. While this might differ from a true pyramid scheme, you will likely lose money and end up without any medical billing leads.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>2. COVID-19 Tests<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/unveiling-a-potential-romance-scam-andrews-story-of-caution-and-investigation\/\">scam<\/a>, you will sign up to distribute at home Coronavirus tests or package them for mailing. However, if you pay to distribute these, you will soon realize that there is no money to be made, as the tests won\u2019t work or will never arrive. The only choice would be to convince others to sign up for the same <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/unveiling-the-dark-side-of-online-romance-helens-heartbreaking-scam-story\/\">scam<\/a> job!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>3. Holistic COVID-19 Treatments<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">These MLM <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/unraveling-the-web-of-deception-kathy-fs-harrowing-journey-into-a-romance-scam\/\">scams<\/a> might include buying and selling aromatherapy essential oils, herbs, or other legal holistic therapies that the company will claim to improve your health. Unfortunately, they won\u2019t help protect you against Coronavirus or help you get better if you contract the virus. Worse, you\u2019ll end up stuck with products you don\u2019t need and won\u2019t use\u2026 and pressured to trick others into signing up\u2026 just to recoup your lost profits!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>How to Avoid a Work From Home Scam or MLM Scam During the Coronavirus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You can avoid these <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/unveiling-the-truth-of-the-scam-lakishas-encounter-with-stephen-emil-malay\/\">scams<\/a> by being careful and astute!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>1. Read the fine print<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Read all work-at-home or MLM offers that you receive and digest the details, in full. Look for anything that isn\u2019t what you expect and ask questions. Have a trusted friend or family member review the job materials and give their opinion.<\/p>\n[aesop_image  img=&#8221;https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/My-Post-6.jpg&#8221; panorama=&#8221;off&#8221; imgwidth=&#8221;100%&#8221; offset=&#8221;100%&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; captionsrc=&#8221;custom&#8221; captionposition=&#8221;left&#8221; revealfx=&#8221;off&#8221; overlay_revealfx=&#8221;off&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>2. Search the company<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.socialcatfish.com\/\">Search the company\u2019s logo online<\/a> and see if it is being used as part of a scam. You can also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.socialcatfish.com\/\">search<\/a> the name of the person wanting you to sign up, email address of a person or a company, phone number(s), and more<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>3. Use Common Sense<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Continue to use common sense even when you really <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/military-man-who-needs-money-for-leave-or-romance-scammer\/\">need the money<\/a>. Ask questions and stay skeptical. Losing money will be worse in the long run.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>4. Payments<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Find out how you will be paid and any consistent payments you will receive. Beware of sending your <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/fake-bank-websites-phishing-emails-and-malware-steal-your-banking-information\/\">bank information<\/a> to an online job offer\u2026 even if they claim it\u2019s for direct deposit. Wait until you\u2019re sure the job is legit and ask for paper checks to start.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>5. Online reviews<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When you read online reviews, be aware that they might be fake or written by the company or a bot. Fact check the details with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbb.org\/\">Better Business Bureau.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>6. Get Help with Your Work From Home Scam<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you believe that you have been scammed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/\">contact<\/a> the Federal Trade Commission. If you gave away any <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/protecting-your-childs-personal-information-online-tips-for-parents-and-guardians\/\">personal information<\/a>, like Social Security Number, driver\u2019s license, etc., and lost money, also contact the police and file a report.<\/p>\n<p>If you are serious about finding a work-at-home job, avoid going through a work from home scam and MLM scam. Look for real job ads. Apply at local companies which also offer you the ability to work from home.<\/p>\n[aesop_image  img=&#8221;https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/My-Post-7.jpg&#8221; panorama=&#8221;off&#8221; imgwidth=&#8221;100%&#8221; offset=&#8221;100%&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; captionsrc=&#8221;custom&#8221; captionposition=&#8221;left&#8221; revealfx=&#8221;off&#8221; overlay_revealfx=&#8221;off&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Social Catfish is Here to Help You!<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\">Social Catfish<\/a> allows you to search for people through multiple methods.
